Mistress & a Million Dollars

Back of the Book

For years, model Briana Davenport fought temptation--in the form of a six-foot, blue-eyed seducer. Jarrod Hammond was her employer's sworn enemy and, as such, off-limits to her...and her bed.

Then her father needed a cool million to bail himself out of trouble, and Briana had no choice but to turn to the Australian businessman. But after one mind-blowing night as his millionaire mistress, how could Briana ever walk away?

Maxine Sullivan's Bio

USA TODAY bestselling author Maxine Sullivan credits her mother for her lifelong love of romance novels, so it was a natural progression for Maxine to want to write them. This led to more than twenty years of submitting stories to Harlequin Mills & Boon and working hard at learning her craft with each manuscript and with each rejection. Maxine still has one of those very first rejections, dated August 1986, and looks upon it as a symbol of never giving up her dream of being published.

That dream came true in 2006 when Maxine entered a writing contest on eHarlequin that led to the sale of her first book to Silhouette Desire. How fitting that the day the senior editor called was January 26Australia Day in Maxine's country.

Maxine currently lives in Melbourne, Australia, but over the years she has traveled to New Zealand, the UK and the USA. In her own backyard, her husband's job ensured they saw the diversity of the countryside, from the tropics to the Outback, country towns to the cities. She is married to Geoff, who has proven his hero status many times over the years. They have two handsome sons and an assortment of previously abandoned animals.

Maxine is thrilled to be one of the few Australians to write for the Silhouette Desire line. She would love to hear from you and can be contacted through her website.
